Abstract excerpt
Homocystinuria caused by cystathionine-beta-synthase deficiency represents a severe form of homocysteinemias, which generally result in various degrees of elevated plasma homocysteine levels. Marfan syndrome is caused by mutations in fibrillin-1, which is one of the major constituents of connective tissue microfibrils. Despite the fundamentally different origins, both diseases share common clinical symptoms in...
